How do the different U.S. mainstream media such as newspapers and other types of news like television networks portray recent debates about illegal immigration? There will be a main focus on the New York Times representing the U.S., being one of the top prestigious papers of this nation, and the trusted channel CNN. With the variety of sources now established, we can now compare and point out its differences as well as similarities, and analyze the point of views of the people involved. As we compare these two sources, I will not only observe the article’s facts and interviews, but also, the way they portray immigrants and officials on the chosen images. We will also see distinguish the real facts from the ones that framed as facts by pundits. We only want to focus on articles dealing with the immigration laws, and who and how it affects people. HR4437 is the law that has caused chaos throughout the whole nation, especially in heavily Latino populated cities. HR4437 states the following things: Better protection at the U.S. Mexico border which is being funded by military funds. Rise of penalties to undocumented immigrants and criminalize assistance. Some of these precious demands were considered a bit harsh and unreasonable, so a guest-worker program was introduces that can eventually build a path to legalization.

My primary U.S. sources for news are the NY times and CNN. Since the HR4437 issue arose, the NY Times has posted a front page article about this issue every single day. As a reader, this says to me that it sees the importance of the issue and knows that its readers want to read about it, so it puts out what the people want. It is a great paper because of it, but I will compare it to other sources to check its credibility. CNN is also known for its great reporting, but there have been some cases where it been biased in the way they present the news or portray immigrants. Other that here in the U.S., sources are very scarce, especially those...

...﻿MEDIA NEGATIVE ASPECT
Opening: Let me begin by stating that all in the world is not as you have been told. The old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction" couldn't be more accurate, for we have been deceived on such a grand scale that most would have a difficult time in comprehending the full extent.
The behind the scenes machinations of big money and politics are so well hidden from most of the population, that if people actually knew how things were really run, we would quite literally have a second revolution overnight. Henry Ford knew this well when he said, "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
Most people who read this might have a hard time fathoming how an entire nation could be so well deceived, but it's really not that hard when you understand the inner workings and hierarchy of an overly revered media in which we place our blind trust.
The truth is not as you know it. Our faith in the media myth has been our Achilles heel.
Many have realized long ago that our politicians will lie to us at the drop of a hat, but most have no clue that our news media lies and deceives us just as much, if not more so.
We have been deceived by our media to such an extent, mostly because people are too trusting of our news system. They very...

Designing a research project takes time, skill and knowledge. With Qualtrics survey software, we make the survey creation process easier, but still you may feel overwhelmed with the scope of your research project.
Here are 5 common errors in the research process.
1. Population Specification
This type of error occurs when the researcher selects an inappropriate population or universe from which to obtain data.
Example: Packaged goods manufacturers often conduct surveys of housewives, because they are easier to contact, and it is assumed they decide what is to be purchased and also do the actual purchasing. In this situation there often is population specification error. The husband may purchase a significant share of the packaged goods, and have significant direct and indirect influence over what is bought. For this reason, excluding husbands from samples may yield results targeted to the wrong audience.
2. Sampling
Sampling error occurs when a probability sampling method is used to select a sample, but the resulting sample is not representative of the population concern. Unfortunately, some element of sampling error is unavoidable. This is accounted for in confidence intervals, assuming a probability sampling method is used.
Example: Suppose that we collected a random sample of 500 people from the general U.S. adult population to gauge their entertainment preferences. Then, upon analysis, found it to be composed of 70% females. This sample would not be...

...I agree that immigrants must learn to speak English if they want to stay in this country. Puedo hablar cualquier English! HUH? “Go back to where you came from”, are the first words out of my mouth when I hear this. In English it means, I don’t speak any English. Now lets back up just a minute, were in AMERICA, not Mexico or any other Spanish speaking country, so speak OUR language or get the hell out.
Indians first inhabited America back when Columbus sailed the ocean blue and the language spoken in North America was Native American. Then, all the redneck Englishmen either killed most of them or sent them packing to the hills. The native language of the newly founded “America” then shifted to English. Since that time it has remained English for hundreds of years. And yes, years later our country was bettered by immigrants that spoke many different languages and that brought many good things to America, including my personal favorite, pizza and beer. But, all immigrants were taken to Ellis Island where they were checked, processed and screened for diseases and given English exams to make it safe for the people already living here. So, unless all the Mexicans and other illegals in this country want to start a coup to over throw our current system and make the native language Spanish, then they need to learn some English or leave.
I have been to Mexico and if you are outside your resort then you are not expected to be understood by anyone, the same should apply here. All...

...Media Influences on Public Opinion:
Cars and the Ideology of their Advertisements
Advertising messages are everywhere. We see them in our morning newspapers, on the billboards we see on our way to work, and even in the magazines we read. They are impossible to miss and we are constantly influenced by their messages even when we do not realize it. One such message was in this month’s Cosmopolitan magazine. The advertisement attempts to persuade the reader to buy a 2013 Ford Escape. The words and the pictures in the ad are innocent enough at first glance, but it is important for a reader to consider what can be construed from taking in more than the literal message found there. The message contains denotations, connotations and a dominant ideology that is important to consider when one attempts to make sense of the true effect of today’s advertising on society.
Ford’s advertisement features three different shaped and sized photos. The first picture captures the inside of the vehicle from the rear view. It depicts a large, clean and well lighted interior space. The second picture is taken along what appears to be a country road with trees and mountains. The sun is rising just above the trees and is shining right into the camera, causing the eye to be drawn to its rays. The third and biggest picture shows a Ford Escape parked in front of a very large and modern home. There is a young, white woman with her hands full swiping her foot under the...

...Media Analysis
Of
Treatment of Immigrants by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
By
Advanced Composition
The Unites States of America Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently merged the operations of two of it’s branches creating the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The newly formed ICE, now the largest investigative branch of the DHS is composed of the formerImmigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the former U.S. Customs Service has created the largest investigative branch of the DHS.
ICE’s Mission statement as quoted from their website states ‘Our mission is to protect America and uphold public safety. We fulfill this mission by identifying criminal activities and eliminating vulnerabilities that pose a threat to our nation’s borders, as well as enforcing economic, transportation and infrastructure security’ (www.ice.gov, 2007, About Us). With the INS no longer on the scene and ICE playing the both roles of the INS and the US Customs Service, ICE agents have been more assertive in their investigating and deportation of Illegal Citizens, and to some extent even terrorizing these people.
Media analyzed covering this ongoing topic come from the Atlanta Creative Loafing Editorial, and video coverage of a press conference held by the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition. This past labor day weekend...

...Interview three people about the media.
It’s time for some good news, says Justin Lamontagne, 19, of Fort Erie. Lamontagne says he gets most of his news from the newspaper. “I’m not one of those people who hate reporters, not at all. I think reporters are useful, I mean they grant access to the whole world through the news. Without them I would never have known about mad cow disease and then where would I be?”
“Speaking of which, the only thing that kind of strikes me as funny about reporters is how everything is the end of the world like, the west nile virus will kill us all, or whatever plague is out there is going to be an epidemic. I'd rather just know what’s going on rather than have someone explain the next apocalypse to me.”
Lamontagne says although he likes to keep up on what is going on in the world it can sometimes be depressing. “It does seem to me that the news is basically starting to turn more and more into a statement of things that went wrong today, or what will go wrong tomorrow. I would like to see the news veer away from that as much as possible. Like I said, let’s give us some good news!”
Ashley Kenyeres, 18, of Niagara Falls says she does not watch the news, nor does she listen to radio but that she mostly gets her news from the Internet or on Jay Leno. Kenyeres says she avoids the media and has a lot of respect for the "few people" who haven't been brainwashed by the...

...Population Growth
A few months after Singapore was founded, the population began to grow very quickly. By 1821, Singapore's population had increased to about 5000. The main cause of this increase was immigration. Singapore in the 19th century attracted many people from different parts of the world. Businessmen and traders came here to trade while others came to look for jobs.
Satay Seller
At that time, more men came to Singapore than women. This was especially so for the Chinese and Indians. Most of the Chinese and Indian immigrants did not intend to stay long in Singapore, so they did not bring their womenfolk along. This meant that the Chinese and Indians could not set up families here even though there were large numbers of them.
However, unlike the Chinese and Indians, the Malays and Europeans brought their families along when they came to Singapore. Thus, the number of Malay and European men was almost equal to the number of Malay and European women. While most Europeans returned home after they had completed their work here, most of the Malays settled with their families in Singapore.
Types Of Labourers
Many people came to Singapore to work because there were a lot of jobs in Singapore. Men were needed for jobs such as the clearing land for plantations, the building of roads, and the building of houses and offices. They were also needed to work in vegetable gardens and plantations owned by the rich planters. Anyone who was willing to...
